GDT: 2016 NHL Draft

[Unsustainable]

Well, they figured we was going to take him, lol

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

wow was stanley not gonna be there at 22?

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

I bet Francis is furious that the Jets took his guy at 21

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

We probably shouldn't be panning any Jet's picks. They've done pretty well for themselves over the past few year.

 

[Roman Yoshi]

Sigh Preds take Fabbro. Canes take Bean. Just not my night.

 

[cptjeff]

They moved up for Stanley?

 

[Blueline Bomber]

And if you've followed some recent articles about the Canes, I'm fairly certain both Francis and Peters have said that the team's ability to score goals needs to be addressed this offseason.

Apparently Florida was the other team that Detroit was talking to about Datsyuk's contract. Interesting.

 

[GoldiFox]

Plenty of great options at #21* now

 

[TheOllieC]

Order I would prefer:

Bellows
Gauthier
Rubtsov
Jones

 

[HisIceness]

Gonna be pissed if they go to another commercial break when it's our turn again.

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

I would like to see Stanley stand next to Bettman more often.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Twin towers in Winnipeg

 

[DaleCooper]

Took a drink every time McKenzie said "wingspan"

 

[GoldiFox]

Order I would prefer:

Bellows
Gauthier
Rubtsov
Jones

I'd have been fine with any at #13. Adding Bean is a steal.

Late to the party, but if the Canes felt Bean was BPA, then it was the right pick. How it will turn out in the long run? Who knows, but whether they took Bellows, or Kunin or Bean at 13, that player likely wasn't going to be on the Canes roster for at least 3 more years. Who knows what our needs will be in 3 years. A couple years ago, we talked about how bad our forward depth was in the systems and in 1 years time, we added Tolchinsky, Aho, Roy, Saarela, Teravainen, and Zykov.

I don't think it's a case of Carolina not recognizing they need goalscoring for next season, but this pick would have zero impact on that.

I read this as if you were saying this as fast as you possibly can.

 

[DaveG]

Prediction: bellows will be there at 21.

We take a LHD

I have faith that Francis isn't brain dead

 

[cptjeff]

[Brock Ness Monster]

Gonna be pissed if they go to another commercial break when it's our turn again.

was it just me or was our 13th sandwiched by commercials

 

[DaveG]

Order I would prefer:

Bellows
Gauthier
Rubtsov
Jones

Jones over Rubstov but agreed

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

I read this as if you were saying this as fast as you possibly can.

Probably pretty accurate. On a phone so was trying to type as fast as possible and be "less verbose" than I normally am.

 

[Stickpucker]

Systemically. That we have no lamp-lighters beyond Skinner in the organization...now, 2 years away or at-all.

Aho?

 

[cptjeff]

I read this as if you were saying this as fast as you possibly can.

For fun, try saying "Tolchinsky, Aho, Roy, Saarela, Teravainen, and Zykov" really fast a couple of times.

 

[cptjeff]

was it just me or was our 13th sandwiched by commercials

It was.

 

[HisIceness]

was it just me or was our 13th sandwiched by commercials

Yep.

 

[TheOllieC]

Don't think Jones has enough offense to be what we need.
